10 Imaginative Science Videos for Your Curious STEM Learners. If you’re looking for some science videos to flip your STEM classroom with, there’s a whole world of them on the Web.

You don’t want just any old average science videos, though. You’re looking for ones that learners will actually want to watch. Science videos should do more than just inform; they should inspire. We’re looking for vids that get us wanting to explore, create, and try things. They should open our eyes and free us to think about interesting experiments and projects. The 10 science videos we’ve posted below are designed to do just that. 1.

There are many reasons why chemists love chemistry. 2. 10 Amazing Science Tricks Using Liquid There are some pretty cool experiments on this video that show you detailed steps and explanations as to what you need to make them work right. 3. This fun video explains how plate tectonics really works. 4.
Explore Science. Climate.nasa. The world seems smaller to Steve Wofsy than it used to.

He’s the lead scientist for NASA’s Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) mission, an airborne mission to survey the gases on the world’s atmosphere that has just finished up a round-the-world flight. I met with Steve in February in Christchurch, New Zealand, at a hotel an easy ten-minute walk from the international airport. The proximity was key because that's where NASA's DC-8 research plane sat amid large warehouse-sized hangars and equipment on a section of the airport run by the U.S. National Science Foundation for research expeditions to Antarctica. Christchurch is at the halfway point of the latest ATom mission, a 28-day near-circumnavigation of the globe.

Exoplanet– a planet that orbits another star The blocky space telescope was still getting its bearings, just a few months after launch, when the floodgates burst open.

His accessible storytelling has inspired generations to learn more about the natural world and brought to life all creatures great and small on our television screens. He joined the BBC as a trainee producer in 1952. While working on the Zoo Quest series (1954-64), he gained his first opportunity to undertake expeditions to remote parts of the globe to capture intimate footage of rare wildlife in its natural habitat.

This past year, students from around the world came together to collaborate on world issues affecting their communities, taking the concept of global learning and turning it into a reality.

In GlobalCOlab (GCL), Students teaching students from around the world, has connected students and educators from different cultures and religions from around the world to cross-cut disciplines, curricula, and traditional subjects to empower participants through student-led and student-created topics. These topics are based around global issues affecting each student’s community. GCL educators will discuss the need for an educational paradigm shift towards a global classroom in a one hour panel format.

For decades, people have been able to watch as others actually made those journeys, heroically opening a new frontier. Now, at last, space travel is open to all of us. It still requires time, resources, and effort, but for the first time in history, space exploration is a possibility for everyone who dares to dream of it. The global group of Virgin Galactic Future Astronauts in many ways represents the most exciting club on Earth.

Grant Wiggins writing for te@chthough deals with this problem in an article titled 'Experiential Learning: Just Because It’s Hands-On Doesn’t Mean It’s Minds-On’.

Grant asks students three questions that reveal the level to which they are cognitively engaged with the task at hand; What are you doing? Why are you doing it? And What does this help you do that’s important? How many students if asked these questions would reply that they are following the steps indicated and that they need to follow the steps to complete the task?
